Helpful Score: 3
Very good...2nd in series, should read the first before this one because it picks up right where the other leaves off. Interesting look at predestination and the ethical considerations if we could know when births & deaths were to happen.
Picks up where Cooper's first book left off. This one much more entertaining with the influence of Nostradomus and Shakespeare on the book's plot.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Picking up from the Seventh Son one it was a fantastic ride throughout history. Shakespeare, Nortrodomas, what else could you want in a book? I recommend this book but make sure and read #1 first.
Book Description
The Library: Only a handful know it exists ... It holds the world's most astonishing -- and terrifying -- information . . . But the one book that is the key to the greatest secret of all time ... is missing. -- Former FBI Special Agent Will Piper solved -- and survived -- the 'Doomsday Killer' case ... and his reward was a forced early retirement. But the shattering truths he learned about the government's most covert operations won't let him rest -- and now he's on the trail of a mysterious volume that's been lost for six centuries. This is the book that inspired Shakespeare and the prophecies of Nostradamus, and once Will gets his hands on it, his life will be worth nothing -- his death sentence a top priority handed down from the very highest levels of power.
Because there are some truths too dangerous for anyone to know -- those that concern the future, world domination . . . and the end of everything.
My Review
This was an exciting book for me as I loved all the history and theology that is tied into the story. It's the 2nd book in the trilogy so I suggest that you read book 1 first. The characters are well-developed and the plot was very interesting with a twist in the end. The book was hard to put down and kept the pages flying until the very end and I think this book would make a great movie. I'm looking forward to reading the last book in the trilogy and I would recommend these books to those who love adventure thrillers.
